Question:

Case Analyses

7-20.  Ian’s Place (The REA Model and E-R Diagrams)

Ian’s place sells pet supplies to dog and cat owners. To sell its products, the marketing department requires sales personnel to call on the pet store retailers within their assigned geographic territories. Salespeople have an application on their mobile phones that allows them to record sales orders and send these sales orders directly to the company network for updating the company’s sales order file.

Each day, warehouse personnel review the current sales orders in its file, and where possible, pick the goods and ready them for shipment. (Ian’s Place ships goods via common carrier, and shipping terms are generally FOB from the shipping point.) When the shipping department completes a shipment, it also notifies the billing department, which then prepares an invoice for the customer. Payment terms vary by customer, but most are “net 30.” When the billing department receives a payment, the billing clerk credits the customer’s account and records the cash received.

Assignment:

    Identify the resources, events, and agents involved in the revenue process at Ian’s Place.

    Develop an E-R diagram for this process.

    Design the tables for this revenue process. Note that you will need tables for each resource, event, and agent, as well as tables for each many-to-many relationship.

Write 11 pages thesis on the topic private institutions vs. public institutions. This report declares that sociology of education helps in understanding the entire education system, finding the strengths and weaknesses. In order to do proper formulation of guidelines and planning of a viable system to perfectly suit man and society. Sociology of education places the teacher in a better position of understanding social issues and their related problems in relation to the schooling environment thus enabling the teacher to relate morally, ethically and professionally. In other words, it gives the teacher in depth understanding of the student cultural background and socio-cultural setup, hence helping them to understand it better themselves.

This paper discusses that education is a formal process through which society willingly passes down accumulated customs, values, skills, and knowledge from generation to generation. In light with this notion about education, there are many functions connected to its necessity hence its core basis. Some of the outlined objectives of education thus include development of value and attitudes. The basis of any society is inclined on its values whether social, cultural or political. These values act as the pillars on which the society’s stability rests upon. For this value to be existent, it calls for personal/individual orientation. Education through any of its institutional setups is formulated to create an environment geared towards the achievement of social integration. Individuals in school setups are drawn from different social backgrounds. In order for the school to function as a system, it calls for shedding of the self to allow for the inclusion of the “otherness”. By this, therefore, we mean that a much as one will hold unto individuality, individualism has to be suppressed if the school has to operate as a joint. The education, therefore, is designed to instill interrelation ability and foster national unity, despite the existing diversity among students in terms of class, race and gender. One of the many objectives of education is to foster a country’s national development and propagate its economic growth. In order for this to be realized, it follows that individuals ought to understand their obligation in relation to their contribution to this goal. Education enhances the achievement of this objective through two major ways: firstly, through education, on is able to know and understand the main pillars of economic development. By so doing, the system thus helps an individual to strategically, position himself or herself in carrying out this function. Secondly, education helps in shaping up people to act as tools of development.

I have provided 2 different TED Talks from Professor Jonathon Haidt.  I have also provided numerous other websites and TED Talks.  I provided these additional resources to you as additional research sites for this class, but also for your future classes and/or profession. 

I think the issues discussed in Chapter 5 and by Professor Haidt are critical at this time in our country.  Arguably, the popularity of Donald Trump in the 2016 election, and the vote by Great Britain to exit the European Union can be traced back to these issues of plurality and our growing inability to find “common ground” for some of our very important looming issues. 

Our country is becoming more and more polarized.  You may agree or disagree with what Professor Haidt has to say, but something different about each of his conversations is that at the end of each one he offers some practical ideas that might provide some solutions to bring people back together, so we can at least start to find common ground again. 

I think understanding Professor Haidt’s main ideas from the first TED Talk leads to a better understanding of the second TED Talk. 

Below are some questions for you to think about and answer from the two TED Talks. 

Please complete the following questions:

From the first TED Talk: 

1.  What is one of the main differences as described by Jonathan Haidt of Liberals and Conservatives?

2.  What is the irony Professor Haidt points out with regard to the “makeup” of the TED Talk audience?

3.  List the 5 foundations of morality Professor Haidt believes we are born with.

4.  What are the three foundations of Morality that Professor Haidt believes are at odds between Conservatives and Liberals?  

5.  According to Professor Haidt, what needs to be implemented or introduced into a larger group in order to get more sharing of common resources?

6.  According to Professor Haidt what lesson can be learned from looking at Eastern Religions?  In other words, how should we be viewing our differences?

7.  Professor Haidt states that we were designed to unite into teams, divide against other teams, and thus we become blinded to the truth.  What does he suggest we should do first in order to begin to cultivate “moral humility”?

From the second TED Talk:

Professor Haidt has come up with an analogy of “asteroids” to help us understand our social issues and how political polarization is halting our ability to solve any large policy challenges.  

1.  What are the 2 liberal “asteroids”?   Briefly explain these.

2.  What are the 2 conservative “asteroids”?  Briefly explain these.

3.  During this conversation, Professor Haidt shows several different graphs to demonstrate his points.  What do all of these graphs basically have in common?  

4.  Professor Haidt comes up with three suggestions for beginning to fix the problems of polarization within Congress.  List these and briefly explain them.  

5.  What is an example given by Professor Haidt showing how two seemingly opposite groups have come together?  

Summing it all up: 

I have asked you these questions above basically like a guided reading exercise to hopefully assist you in parsing out the main ideas of his presentations.  Above, I just expected you to answer the questions.  For this last question, give me your thoughts.  

Do you agree or disagree with any of his assumptions or conclusions?  Have you experienced any situations that support his ideas?  What do you think about his findings regarding the difference between liberals and conservatives?  What do you think of his “asteroid” issues?  Do you think there are other big “asteroid” issues that he did not mention?  Do you think we might have some local “asteroid” issues we should be addressing?  Do you think any of his ideas could work?  Do you have any ideas of your own?  How might this information make you a better public administrator?  

There is not a minimum word count here.  My hope is that you found these talks interesting and thought provoking.

As mentioned above, below these directions are some additional TED Talks and websites (Other than the Professor Haidt Ted Talks) that offer even more interesting ideas, activities, thoughts and suggestions for this issue of finding common ground.  Each one offers a slightly different take on this very important issue.  Just take a little time and explore.  I think the additional TED Talks are very interesting in particular.  Again, these additional resources are just there for your general review.
